Hi Everyone,

I posted a couple weeks ago about a breast lump, well I was meant to have a biospy a few days after my breast clinic appointment but unfortunately I came down with norovirus,  so appointment had to be rescheduled. 

Fast forward  ...

The appointment was today, and I ended up having a core biopsy.  The consultant said he thought it was an abscess and that he would try to drain some of the fluid using a fine needle - he tried but didn't obtain any fluid, so he did a core biopsy as well.

I'm 51, post menopause, and this lump has me worried. The lump itself doesn't hurt, isn't red, hot or inflamed,  but I do get aching in that breast and shoulder blade pain, as well as armpit pain ... intermittent and never continously.

I'm just wondering if any of you can relate to my story. 

The consultant still thinks it's an abscess  - I don't know what to think.

It will be discussed this Friday by their multi-disciplinary team, and I should hopefully know next week.

Thanks for listening :-) X
